Five specimens: Los Indies. 



This dainty warbler was noted several times by Mr. Link at Los 

 Indies from September 25 to November 20, but was not encountered 

 'elsewhere. From other available sources we learn, however, that it is 

 a regular winter resident in the island, as elsewhere in the West 

 Indies. It has been so recorded by Mr. Read, and was noted in 

 March, 1902, by Mr. Zappey, but how much later in the season it 

 remains is an undetermined question. The specimens brought back 

 appear referable to the present form, but the colors both above and 

 below are overlaid with paler feather-tips. 



Vermivora bachmani (Audubon). Bachman Warbler. 



(?) "Bachman Warbler" Read, Forest and Stream, LXXIII, 1909, 452 (I. ot 

 Pines, February 6). — Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 58, and XXX, 1913, 131 

 (I. of Pines); XXVIII, 191 1, 113 (West McKinley). — Read, I. of Pines News, 

 VI, Feb. 14, 1914 (I. of Pines). 

 (?) Helminlhophila bachmanii Read, Oologist, XXVIII, 1911, 12 (I. of Pines). 



This rare warbler is known to winter in Cuba, and may extend its migration to 

 the Isle of Pines as well. Mr. Read says that he took a specimen on February 6, 

 1909, but as the example in question is unfortunately not now in existence, and a 

 mistake might very readily be made in a case like this, it would seem best to keep 

 the species in the hypothetical list for the present. 



Vermivora peregrina (Wilson). Tennessee Warbler. 



(?) "Tennessee Warbler" Read, Oologist, XXVI, 1909, 224 (I. of Pines); XXVII, 

 1910, 15, and XXVIII, 1911, 7 (I. of Pines; migr.), 114 (West McKinley); 

 XXX, 1913, 131 (I. of Pines; migr.). — Read, I. of Pines News, VI, Feb. 14, 1914 

 (I. of Pines). 



(?) Helminlhophila peregrina Read, Oologist, XXVIII, 191 1, 13 (I. of Pines).
